Reading List
I've decided to start a reading list, and just keep track of the books I finish reading each month. Repeats are not written down, although will be counted in the tally of each month in square brackets. I've decided not to include textboks here, despite the fact I have indeed read those cover to cover!
Feel free to leave reading suggestions here! Anything you suggest I will make an effort to find and read.
